Words & Music for Early Learners is a hybrid video and live program for grades Pre-K – K that builds early literacy skills and social and emotional learning through music, movement, and lyric writing. The program includes three asynchronous pre-recorded video lessons that teach students about the parts of a song and themes.
After students view the videos, they participate in a 30-minute live lesson (in-person or virtual, scheduled ahead of time) taught by a museum educator and a professional songwriter. During the live lesson, students will choose a theme, contribute ideas, and co-write a song with a songwriter!
Here's How It Works
Step 1
Schedule a 30-minute live lesson taught by a museum educator and songwriter by completing a School Group Reservation Form (in-person at the Museum or your school) or Virtual and Distance Learning Reservation Form (Zoom).
Step 2
Assign students (at home or in class) to watch the video lessons below.
Step 3
You’re ready for your live lesson! Be sure you have confirmed your date and time with a museum educator. For virtual programs, you will need a computer with video and audio capabilities to connect via Zoom. (A meeting room link will be shared via email.)
